The Squid and the Whale

Spend a few minutes swimming through this lovely blog.

That time of year..

I was away for Rosh Hashanah. I stole an apple from an apple orchard and got some miel so felt slightly less guilty. I'll repent on Saturday. One for the list.

On another Jewish note, love the Sukah City competition in New York. Some of the winning designs as follows.

Push the button

We tried to get into an Italian tapas place last night but ended up in an opulent room worthy of Don Draper, with a button at every table. I must have been transfixed by said button (and 3 spoonfuls of salted caramel ice cream) as I can't remember what the restaurant was called! I will of course locate it and google map it for you shortly.

My London Shopper

I've talked about Sindiso Khumalo before. Sindi has launched a new (ad)venture. mylondonshopper sells her own designs and in addition offers a personalised shopping service to clients who may want to buy items off other websites that do not deliver to South Africa.
Love her new website and her email signature sign off

Lower ground

I work on the lower ground floor and occasionally feel like Beckett's Winnie in Happy Days. I wouldn't mind being submerged in this forest office though.
